Education has changed drastically as students across the world engage in learning through a variety of classrooms no longer limited to in-person instruction. STEM curriculum, an approach to learning involving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, focuses on creating the next generation of innovators. Through problem-solving and creativity, careers in STEM have grown from 24.4 % versus 4% of non-STEM jobs in the last decade, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
A new and rapidly growing industry, AgTech, works to ensure sustainable energy and food options for the future, with STEM education as the precursor to foster interest in the brilliant minds of students and future stakeholders of the impending food crisis.
We know that food supply will directly affect our children.
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture states that “the production of food, feed, and fiber will need to increase by 70 percent” in order to feed the growing population of human beings slated to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050.
Most school systems have very limited agriculture, horticulture, or botany programs, and our children are growing up in a post-modern consumerist world with increasing disconnection and simulation. Our hope at Gardyn is to disrupt perceptions by breaking the supply chain and bringing the food source into reality for the consumer. It’s important for children to have a direct connection with reality, and Gardyn provides a pillar through food.
Here are four reasons why a Gardyn Home should be a part of every STEM teacher’s curriculum:
Ag isn’t all tractors and overalls...it can be just as exciting as Tech! 😉
The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition has an abundance of valuable resources to get educators started on planning a Farm to School Grant Program. Read more about their grassroots initiative to advance the sustainability of agriculture on their F2S grant page.
